Felicity 4X11: A Perfect Match

I hate that this feels like a slow march towards the death of this show. I'm not really loving this season. And I loved the hell out of the first two. I feel like last season was hit or miss, but this one is so not my favorite. Sigh.

So, after a conversation with his potentially dying dad, Ben decides to get back together with Felicity. I guess I should be happy about this, but at this point, I think I'm kind of over it.

But, we've got good news, Ben's dad's got a liver! Huzzah! ...

Friday Night Lights 5X11: The March

Okay, so I really quite enjoyed this episode. I don't know if they knew they were done after this season, or if they were hoping for a renewal, but I feel like the story is working either way.

In some quick edits, we see the Lions win all their games to get them to state. And, believe it or not, this is not even the best part of this episode. Truly, all the stuff outside football, was kind of the star this time. (Not that it will keep me from using a football thumbnail I'm sure ❤️)....

Shameless 8X6: Icarus Fell and Rusty Ate Him

So, I did quite resonate with this episode. It's still not my favorite season, but I felt like a ton of this in this episode mirrored my life. Lol.

Lip and Youens try to piece together Brad's night so they can find him after his bender. Lip eventually finds him passed out in a hallway. He sobers him up and takes him home, but his wife doesn't let him back in.

Ian and Fiona are still clashing over the church. I'm so on Team Ian here. Fiona continues to piss me off by claiming she ...

The Vampire Diaries 2X7: Masquerade

Dude. This episode was so great! I know I say that all the time for this, but come on! I was so sure this was gonna be an Elena/Katherine who is who at the masquerade ball. And it was so much better than that!

So, we've all got a part in the plan to kill Katherine. Jeremy, Caroline, Stefan, Damon, and Bonnie are all in on it. Elena is left out for her own saftey.

However, it turns out, Katherine has yet another ace up her sleeve. She's got a witch that binds herself to Elena so wh...

Arrow 4X16: Broken Hearts

I probably say, 'I hate this,' about 50 times this episode. I apologize in advance.

So, Cupid is back. And she's targeting celebrity and high profile couples to kill and prove that love is dead. You can probably guess where this is going.

After two other killings, Arrow and Co. discovers that Oliver and Felicity is next. Of course, loser bitch doesn't realize they've broken up. So, they hold a fake wedding to draw her out. During which, Felicity gives a bullshit speech just meant...

9-1-1 6X2: Crash and Learn

So, Athena and Bobby are in Florida trying to help out after Athena's dad had a stroke. Her mom is not taking it well, but honestly, who would?

They hire a contractor to help fix the part of the house he crashed into with the car. Later, he and Bobby are digging and they find a body until the house. Athena pretty much immediately recognizes it as the missing child from when she was a girl. You know, the reason she became a cop. This begs so many questions! Why is it under Athena's paren...

Sons of Anarchy 1X5: Giving Back

I think this might be my favorite episode so far. It was easy to follow. And I really love Opie, so that had something to do with it, I'm sure.

So, we've got Gemma holding this fundraiser. And Kyle, someone that was tossed out of the club, wants to come because his son is in the band. His ex brings it up with Gemma who asks Clay to hold a vote on it. In the end, they agree to let him come, but not all the members are happy.

When Opie and Kyle finally come face to face, they end u...

One Tree Hill 7X14: Family Affair

Okay, so, you guys can probably guess that I didn't love this episode. It was way too focused on Taylor, who I just want to stab. I'm totally on Haley's side. Let's just take her out. Seriously.

But, I'd also like to say that I was wrong. When she showed up at the end of last episode, I was pissed because I thought we already had enough drama between Mille, Brooke and Julian, and Alex. But a lot of that stuff sort of got resolved this episode, so I reluctantly agree that the Taylor dram...

Wildfire 2X12: For Love Or Money

So Dani and Kris have declared a sort of truce so that at least one of their horses gets invited into the race. They are having a race, and whoever wins, gets the spot.

Unfortunately, Belladonna goes into labor making Kris late. She calls Matt, but he turned his phone off to be with Jillian. Finally, she gets ahold of Junior, ho tells Dani to tell Jillian the race is postponed until Kris gets there.

Meanwhile, the foal is having trouble coming out, and Kris needs to take matters i...

Alien

So, somehow, I missed this classic my entire life. And it is not one I think I will be revisiting. Even though I was super invested (and stressed out), for the second half if this movie, the first half was so slow and I had no idea what was going on (not that that's unusual for me, but still). That said, I can see why people like it. It's just not for me.

Train to Busan

So, I don't know if I'd say this was scary, but it was intense. And suspenseful. But, either way, it was a spectacular movie.

Schedule October 14-18

Hello, hello. Happy Saturday!

This week we finish up S2 of Wildfire. I know I keep saying it, but how is this show so good? I think I may have dismissed a bunch of stuff out of hand because it was on ABC Family. Although to be honest, I think the only thing I ever watched on that channel was The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and that was pretty bad. (But I love teen TV, so into my brain it went 🤣).

We are marching towards the end of Friday Night Lights as well. Currentl...

True Blood 3X9: Everything is Broken

OMG. I hate all of this so much. I'm mostly just interested in whatever the hell Eric is doing right now, and we got, like, five minutes of it. Then, I care about Sookie and Bill, which amounted to about 4 minutes. The rest was all stuff that I totally don't care about. Did people like this season? Is it just me?

Anyway, Bill seems to know what Sookie is, but of course, no one will tell me. He and Sookie seem like they are a little timid around each other right now. Sookie feels like sh...

Arrow 4X15: Taken

I'm sorry. On my birthday? They break up ON MY BIRTHDAY? I don't even want to finish writing this description.

So, everyone finally finds out about William. And Felicity acting exactly as she did the first time she found out. Except, she manages to hold it all together at first so they can find him and take down Darhk. It isn't until much later when she finally tells Oliver she can't have a relationship like this and gives him back the ring. As soon as that happens though, Felicity's le...

Sons of Anarchy 1X4: Patch Over

Dude, it took me way to long to figure out what patch over meant. Why wouldn't they tell me before, like, 2/3 of the way through!?

So, we've got another motorcycle club who is friendly with SOA. And they've agreed to let us store some guns on their property since we don't have any space. However, they are having an issue with the Mayans and are asking us for help in return. Jax sort of agrees, but tells them that Clay is on his way up. They all seem to realize that this means a patch ov...

9-1-1 6X1: Let the Games Begin

I feel like not that much happened in this episode.

Okay, so Maddie and Chim are back together. It was a bit of a rocky start that begin with a one night stand (I mean, sort of), but after avoiding things for a bit, they seem to figure it out.

Christopher trying to tell Buck that him not having a couch is weird, was probably my favorite scene this episode. I'm sure the fact that my 'family' is back together had something to do with it. But either way, Buck and Taylor are still bro...

One Tree Hill 7X13: Weeks Go By Like Days

Okay, so no real time jump to speak of. Just mostly skipping over Haley's tour and getting to see the last night back in Tree Hill.

So Brooke and Julian haven't spoken in six weeks. She seemed to think that time apart was what she needed, but even after taking all this time, she's still no closer to figuring out what to do. She just can't get past the fact that Julian is working (and constantly with) Alex. And he can deal with the fact that she can't handle it. It's just a shitty situat...

Wildfire 2X11: Who Are You?

Okay. This was probably my least favorite episode of the show. There wasn't actually anything wrong with it, but I didn't really want to watch an entire episode about being at a ball. Lol.

Also, I'm confused. I thought that by winning that race earlier in the season, they were automatically invited to the Breeders Invitational. But maybe that was a different race?

Anyway, we're all trying to get this Jillian woman to invite our horse into the race. Dani throws a ball where she'll ...

Replacing Friday Night Lights

You guys so did not disappoint. I apologize in advance for the crazy amount of options, but I really want everyone to have an opportunity. That said, I had way more suggestions than Patreon allows, so I needed to set up a Google Form for it.

Also, I'd ask that yes, obviously vote for what you suggested, but try to also vote for something you didn't. I just don't want to end up with one vote in every category. Lol.

Again, this is going to be replacing Friday Night Lights which is $...

This is 44.

Happy birthday to regular looking me.

Friday Night Lights 5X10: Don't Go

I didn't love this episode. I checked the reviews afterwards and it seemed like people loved it. There was no actual football! And a lot of drama that was more drama than needed to be! And Buddy and the team obviously manipulating Eric!

But, that stuff aside, we did get some good stuff. Tim is finally out of jail. And, even if Billy didn't, Eric made a lovely speech on his behalf. Vince finally put his dad in his place. (Not that he actually listened- but then mom jumped in to back up ...

Halloween Movie

Hello, hello. I'm super behind on Halloween stuff, which is annoying because this is my favorite time of year. I've got two reactions going up this weekend. But next weekend I need to decide between A Quiet Place 2 and Practical Magic. Neither of which I've seen. What do you guys think?

These are for $10/tier and up and will go up the 19th. You'll also get a spooky drunk re-watch that weekend as well.

Shameless 8X5: The (Mis)Education of Liam Fergus Beircheart Gallagher

That's a hell of a title.

Alright, so, I'm still feeling pretty much the same as I've been for most of this season so far. It's fine. There is literally nothing wrong with any of it, but it's just not the show I want to see.

I think the best thing about this episode was Fiona and Ian's fight about the end about who should get to buy the church. I was curious if Fiona would feel differently about it if she knew it was Ian who was looking to get it, but apparently not.

Carl ju...

The Vampire Diaries 2X6: Plan B

Um, Damon totally just ripped Mason's heart right out of his chest and killed, right? Everybody saw that? I was so not expecting Mason to die. At all. And now I'm concerned for Matt.

So, we're prepping for a masquerade ball. During which, Elena and Bonnie sneak away and Elena tells her about her 'fake fighting' with Stefan. She also tells her about how she really needs to stop ignoring Caroline. Bonnie says she isn't ready yet.

We're all still looking for this moonstone. Bonnie b...

Stranger Things 4X3: Chapter Three: The Monster and the Superhero

So, Joyce and Murray head for Alaska to try to get Hopper back. Almost as soon as they leave, Eleven is arrested for the incident at the roller rink. While she's in custody, she tells the officers she didn't know why she did it, and she doesn't know if she meant to kill her. She gets booked and while being transported to jail, the van gets accosted by Sam and his men.

He tells El that everyone on Hawkins is in danger, and the only one who can defeat the 'monster' is her. She tells him t...

9-1-1 5X18: Starting Over

This felt like it could have been a series finale to me. Everyone ended up in such a good place.

Maddie and Chim have lunch, where Chim is expecting her to ask if it's okay for her to date other people. He agrees, but she's flustered and confused, as she wanted to talk to him about going back to work. He's fine with it. Then she tells him he can date if he wants to, but he assures her he isn't thinking about that. Later, they meet up for some lunch with Jee-Yun, and it looks like maybe ...

Arrow 4X14: Code of Silence

So, it seems like Darhk is running around trying to tie up loose ends. He's hired some demolition experts to implode building while his enemies are in them.

After salvaging a laptop from one of the buildings, Felicity has Curtis check out what's on the damaged hard drive. He figures out that they are planning on destroying the building that the debate is being held in. Which has Oliver, all of Arrow Co, half the city, and Darhk's wife (but we assume she was going to be evacuated beforeh...

Sons of Anarchy 1X3: Fun Town

Jax is such a complex and interesting character. I love it, so much. It seemed like he was totally on board when the guy wanted to cut the balls off the guy who raped his daughter. However, when he decided he couldn't do it, and Clay did it instead, he was way less into it. I'm sure it didn't help that Clay had ulterior motives, but still.

So, anyway, the carnival is in town and half of the SOA are there just enjoying the vibe. They happen to run into this prominent business owner and h...

One Tree Hill 7X12: Some Roads Lead Nowhere

So, the good news is that Clay and Quinn (somehow, it all seemed a little complicated to me) managed to get Nathan on the Sacramento Kings, but also arrange a trade to the Bobcats on the same day. He was going to be offered 7 million to play in Spain, but Clay managed to get him 15 million to stay at home. But he has to let Clay be his agent again, and he has to accept that he loves Quinn.

It seems like Haley is still planning on going on tour though. We see her, Nathan, and Jamie loadi...

Wildfire 2X10: 51/49

Again I say, this show is so much better than it has any right to be.

So, we've got Kris who is afraid to get back on Wildfire after what happened at the race. And Wildfire is refusing to let anyone who isn't Kris ride him. But the vet says he needs to be ridden, so we're so of at a standstill. Eventually, they come up with the plan of running alongside Wildfire as they had over to David farm. I cannot remember why they are going there, but it doesn't really matter.

Ken has asked ...
